It's the cleanest and quickest way.

I use a simple cutter with a blade that is specially designed for the cutting of plastic pipe. Very cheap and very quick. Much better than a cutter designed for copper pipe. Works similar to a pair of secateurs.

Does this not crush the pipe?
Thanks

Best on the market by far - forget your ratched all purpose - if you're cutting 15 and 22mm this is the best

I'd disagree with you I hate these cutters

when your cutting into the pipe, apply a bit pressure to the cutter then turn it slightly so it cuts into the pipe, breaking the surface so to speak, then you can apply more pressure to the cutter to cut through the pipe with no crushing.

Each to their own - I hate ratchets for speedfit pipe

Nice, clean, square, burrless cuts and no crushing - in less than a second

I showed the ratchet cutter because I could not find a picture of the one I use. Which does not have a ratchet.
No, they do not crush the pipe. The blade is very sharp.
